[QUOTE="140mower, post: 3832, member: 447"] Hi Scott, This should hopefully prove to be an interesting thread, as I think opinions will vary quite a bit from person to person. For me I would consider under 1500 hrs to be low. Of course the newer the machine and the closer to 1500 you get the less likely I'd be to call it low hours. eg. 2006 with 1400 hrs would be high in my opinion. 1500 hrs to around 3500 hrs would be kind of middle range, again depending on age. A 1997 with 1600 hours would be low to my thinking, but a 2004 with 3500 hrs. would be leaning to the high side for me. Anything over 3500 hrs would be getting to the high side, but if well looked after should still be in a good servicable condition, but will require a little higher level of service and maintenance work to keep it reliable. I guess what I'm trying to say is for me at least, there is no hard and solid rule for low to high hours and each machine should be looked at individually based on it's own merrits and shortcomings. I'm looking forward to seeing how this thread plays out and how my thoughts on the subject compare with those with more knowledge on the subject. Don [/QUOTE]
